--------------------------------
Juventus
The midweek win over Manchester City saw Thiago Motta welcome back a few key stars that were missing from action recently. Those included midweek goalscorers Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie, while Douglas Luiz and Nicolo Savona also made their comebacks. Those returns boost the squad side ahead of a crucial period.
Nicolas Gonzalez is also closing in on a return from his injury. However, long-term absentees Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer, and Arkadiusz Milik will not be available for the foreseeable future. In any case, Motta will have a strong enough lineup to select, although he will continue to retain most of those who featured in the midweek tie. Motta could carry on with the same back four, including Danilo at left-back, which worked against Manchester City.
In midfield, despite Luiz’s return, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram are the starters for now and will keep their places against Venezia. Similarly, Motta is unlikely to make any changes in the final third as Dusan Vlahovic will lead the line with the support coming from Teun Koopmeiners, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao in the attacking areas.
Venezia
Eusebio Di Francesco will be without Alfred Duncan and Richie Sagrado for this daunting trip to Turin. In addition, Antonio Raimondo is also unlikely to feature, although Magnus Kofod Andersen will replace Duncan in midfield for Venezia.
Di Francesco will continue to deploy a back three for this clash in the hope of controlling the Juventus attack. Giorgio Altare, Michael Svoboda, and Jay Idzes are all set to feature in the backline. Francesco Zampano and Mikael Ellertsson are the expected starters in the key wing-back roles, with Andersen and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia operating in the midfield engine room.
The latter debuted in Serie A for Juventus in 2019, and while he had fewer chances in Turin, he is a mainstay in Di Francesco’s Venezia side. Gaetano Oristanio and Gianluca Busio will play an advanced role in the attacking setup, supporting striker Joel Pohjanpalo.
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Danilo; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic
Venezia possible starting lineup:
Stankovic; Idzes, Svoboda, Altare; Candela, Doumbia, Nicolussi Caviglia, Zampano; Busio, Oristanio; Pohjanpalo

Prediciton: Juventus 3-0 Venezia
